Elvis is, and always will be, The King. Even as he (probably) lies in his grave at Graceland, he lives on in his music, his movies, on the Vegas stage, through the U.S. Mail, and on these pages. Mondo Elvis is a compilation of Elvis dreams, Elvis desires, and Elvis nightmares. This collection of stories and poems by, among others, Greil Marcus, Nick Cave, Mark Childress, Diane Wakoski, and Janice Eidus, track the Elvis legend from beginning to end. They depict Elvis the man, as well as the myth, they reflect on the life that was, and ponder the life that might have been. Elvis will never die. We can't let him. We need him too much.

Cordelia is the "greatest unpublished novelist of her generation", who has found, at the height of her noncareer, that she is dying of lung cancer. After leaving New York, she returns home to Equality, Alabama, because she is the seventh Cordelia in her matrilineal line who has been born or died in Equality, and Cordelia will not buck tradition. Tradition and memory are all that hold together the people in this small, dying town, and they are the only thing Cordelia has left. Death in Equality is Cordelia's story, narrated by herself - during the increasingly short intervals when she is conscious - and by her unconscious voice, her id, her narrative voice, when she is unconscious. Together, the two aspects of Cordelia relate the stories that have made up her life, as well as the stories that will go untold, unrecorded, and unread when she dies.
